DISPLAY Campaign (EN / FR / DE / HU)

The European Display® Campaign is a voluntary scheme designed by energy experts from European towns and cities. When started in 2003 it was initially aimed at encouraging local authorities to publicly display the energy and environmental performances of their public buildings using the same energy label that is used for household appliances.

La campagne européenne Display® est une initiative volontaire conçue par des experts en énergie de villes européennes. Elle est destinée à encourager les autorités locales à afficher publiquement les performances énergétiques et environnementales de leurs bâtiments publics, en utilisant le modèle de l’étiquette des appareils électroménagers.

Die europäische Display-Kampagne beruht auf einer freiwilligen Initiative von Energiefachleuten in europäischen Städten und Gemeinden. Der Startschuss erfolgte im Jahr 2003. Zunächst war die Kampagne als Impuls für Kommunen gedacht, in Anlehnung an das Energielabel für Elektrohaushaltsgeräte die Energie- und Umwelteffizienz ihrer öffentlichen Gebäude öffentlich bekannt zu geben.

Large PV installation on commercial building, Upper Palatinate Region, Germany - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy

[EN] EuPD Research estimated the PV potential of commercial buildings in Germany at about 25 GW – so far only 4.8 percent have been realized.

A good example for tapping this potential is the company of Glapor from Mitterteich, Bavaria. Due to the installation of a photovoltaic system on its 13.000 square meter flat roof, Glapor is playing a pioneering role in terms of environmental protection. The annual generation of electricity about 750 MWh is resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions of about 300 – 350 tonnes per year, thus significantly contributing to climate protection. In the future, industrial companies will not only be a current consumer – quite contrary, they will actively engage in energy transition.

Bioenergie Mitterteich GmbH & CO. KG, Upper Palatinate Region, Germany - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Services and Financing

[EN] In the Upper Palatinate excellent preconditions exist for the use of biomass due to large areas of agricultural and forest land. However, this form of energy use is clearly limited. Only an environmentally sustainable use of biomass does not endanger the protection of nature and environment.

A good example for a regional energy company offering sustainable heat and electricity for local stakeholders is the Bioenergie Mitterteich GmbH & CO. KG.
The company operates a heating installation based on biomass, which is exclusively supplied with wood chips from regional foresters. Large wood resources and short transportation distances ensure a sustainable energy supply.

Additionally to a local district heating system, Bioenergie Mitterteich GmbH & CO. KG installed 3 PV systems on public buildings in September 2012.

Begiralea: Energy consumption monitoring project, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Monitoring

[EN] The Begiralea project aims to raise awareness about the importance of saving energy and also aims to involve directly workers of municipal buildings to reduce energy consumption. For this purpose, municipal workers will have information available about the real consumption of the building with tools for its analysis and advices that will help them achieve important levels of energy saving.
All this is possible thanks to the building monitoring system for the energy consumption that the Association of Basque Municipalities-EUDEL has developed with the advice of the Basque Energy Agency-EVE making possible to know how much and how is consumed energy in each building.
Thus, good practices and new habits developed by workers will have their reflection in the energy consumption and it may be checked in the comparatives with previous months.

Energy-efficient secondary school Lappersdorf, Upper Palatinate Region, Germany - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Efficient Buildings

[EN] The EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings (Directive 2010/31/EC) obliges Member States in Article 9 to ensure that after 31 December 2018 all new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities are nearly zero-energy buildings.

The District Government of Regensburg, Bavaria, aims to fulfill this role model function by the construction of a new low carbon school building for a secondary school in Lappersdorf. The construction of this innovative building, which was finalized in September 2012, strives for achieving nearly carbon-neutrality as regards the annual generation and use of energy. Although not achieving the passive house standard in total (maximum heating demand of 15 kWh/(m²*a), heating load of max. 10 W/m²), it is an excellent example that current state-of-art technology is established for realizing nearly-zero emission buildings.

European Energy Efficiency Legislation

[EN] Reducing energy consumption and eliminating energy wastage are among the main goals of the European Union (EU). EU support for improving energy efficiency will prove decisive for competitiveness, security of supply and for meeting the commitments on climate change made under the Kyoto Protocol. There is significant potential for reducing consumption, especially in energy-intensive sectors such as buildings, manufacturing, energy conversion and transport. At the end of 2006, the EU pledged to cut its annual consumption of primary energy by 20% by 2020. To achieve this goal, it is working to mobilise public opinion, decision-makers and market operators and to set minimum energy efficiency standards and rules on labelling for products, services and infrastructure.

Make your building smile - Renewable energy in buildings

Publication [EN] This publication from the European Commission (2009) covers 25 projects funded by the IEE programme within the Renewable Energy sector. It shows that although buildings are amongst the greatest consumers of energy, they also have the greatest potential to reduce the EU’s conventional energy consumption by combining energy-saving measures with renewable energy sources, the total consumption of conventional energy in buildings can be reduced to zero. Buildings can even become net producers of clean energy since they can be fitted with solar water and space heating and cooling.
